With the 2010 Olympics on the way, many thoughts come to mind. What will the Olympics bring us? Will it make money? Should we have the 2010 Olympics? There are 2 sides to this endless argument. The people who don’t want the Olympics and the people who do.
Before explaining the reasons why they want or don’t want the Olympics, there are a few things that come into play. Our economy being in a state of disaster, should the Olympics really be a priority? Threats, security for the Olympic Games must be top-notch so that people’s safety is assured.
Time, is this really a good time for the Olympics with all that’s going on in war, natural disasters and the economy should we really care about the 2010 games? Keep the Olympics. Our world has been having the Olympics for a long time now, should I even think about canceling the Olympics?
The tradition is very sacred to the world and people who are passionate about it are taking a stand and saying that we will not cancel this glorious event even in times of crisis. Another factor is the athletes. How do they feel? They have been training non-stop for this glorious event.
It’s time to shine and having it taken away would be the worst thing we could do. With money playing a big role here, people wonder if the Olympics will make more money than they spend or if the Olympics will plummet into debt.
The Olympics, a major event that has been going on forever and is a tradition for the people of this planet, keeping the Olympics is an obvious YES. The Olympic Games, do we need them? We are in a time of crisis, the whole war in the Middle East, the state of our economy and many other problems. The Olympics should take a backseat. The Olympics is a one-time thing, so it’s a waste of money that we shouldn’t be spending.
Being a double-edged sword, the Olympics could make a lot of money or send us into debt. Most likely debt since we are in a money situation. Taking this risk would be a great disadvantage for people. The HIGH chances of the Olympics causing a money problem, people will pay to clean it all up!
Is it worth taking this risk? With everything going on in the world, the Olympics should definitely be at the bottom of the priority list. The Olympic Games also bring a great invitation for those who would like to harm others. The security would have to be very good or else we could have a big disaster if the terrorists attack!
With all the risks we’re taking with the Olympics, is it really a good idea to have these measly events? The many problems that we already have and will have with the Olympics is obviously a big NO. With all the good and bad that these events bring, we should or shouldn’t have the Olympics. Those who want and those who do not want Olympics. What is your position in this debate about the size of the OLYMPICS?
